Ongoing ATC Swap 2026 Gallery & Discussion

I was super lucky and received 2 swaps today!

First from @Manders for my “Gosh, remember the 90s?” theme, this gem.

Her note asked if I could find all of the references and I have… all but the sword and shield in the center bottom? I feel like a failure as a nerd for not knowing. :joy: This card was so representative of my childhood and I love it very much.

I also very much enjoyed this face to greet me as I opened the envelope.

Next, I received from @MamaRhi and I feel very blessed to have something that has her watercolor skills. This was from my “Spirits/ Sprites of unusual things” theme and she very much delivered.

I present the Sprite of Staple Removers:

I love his expression of determination and a job well done. Plus, some fun stickers to greet my opening the envelope :smiley:

You guys rock! By the way, I have now ordered card protectors and they have arrived. So sorry for the last 2 people I sent swaps to- your cards are the last ones I will be sending bare.

The sword in the stone is a reference to an animated movie called “Quest for Camelot” the shield is actually just a random CD lol

It’s a favorite of mine, “looking through your eyes” was the song I danced with my husband for our first dance. :purple_heart: (The movie version, not the album one)

I’m so happy you loved it. I had a lot of fun making it. A lot of experiments went into the marigolds, but I picked these because they were the most interesting :blush:
